ThomasJefferson

  1. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
  2. Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth.
  3. I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
  4. He who knows best knows how little he knows.
  5. When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.
  6. No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.
  7. A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
  8. Truth between candid minds can never do harm.
  9. All powers not delegated to the U.S., by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.
  10. Every generation needs a new revolution.
  11. Be polite to all, but intimate with few.
  12. Peace, commerce, and honest friendship, with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
  13. Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.
  14. I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
  15. Delay is preferable to error.
  16. The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.
